Eliminates child support payments when both parents have equal custody and both are employed.

The bill modifies child support guidelines in West Virginia to remove child support payments when both parents have equal custody and both are employed. Under the current law, child support is determined by dividing the total child support obligation between the parents based on their income. However, this bill introduces an exception: if a court allocates custodial responsibility equally between the parents and both parents are working, no child support payments will be required from either parent.
